The recent news that Mr Mulbah Morlu has been allegedly appointed as "Policy Chief" of the Congress for Democratic Change has created a media feeding frenzy and jolted the Unity Party to its very core.
Before the ink could dry on the “purported” press release Unity Party partisans were up in arms with shrill cries regarding Mr Morlu’s alleged "questionable credibility".
A brief analysis of Mr Morlu stance regarding key players in the Liberian civil war will explain why the very mention of his name send chills down the spine of the Unity Party.
It is a fact that over 250,000 Liberians are DEAD. Gone FOREVER ! I believe it is right to advocate for the prosecution of vicious warlords and their enablers who orchestrated this MONSTROUS slaughter of many innocent Liberians. A cause which Mr Morlu has spear-headed with almost "religious" ZEAL !
Mr Morlu's methodologies might not be acceptable to all but his CAUSE is JUST and noble.
The false cries of his lack of credibility is simply meant to disguise their collective fear that another potent political force is aligning with the CDC.
Indeed two wrongs do NOT make a right but how does Mr Morlu's credibility measures up to former Information Laurence K. Bropleh who was ORDERED to restitute $358,000 that he defrauded the Liberian Government?
How does Mr Morlu's credibility measures up to former Minister and presidential confidante Willis Knuckles and Mr Estrada Bernard – President Johnson-Sirleaf's brother-in-law – who were accused of accepting bribes from Yoram Cohen, the operator of Liberia's lucrative shipping registry, Liberian International Ship and Corporate Registry (LISCR) ?
How does Mr Morlu's credibility measures up to former Agriculture Minister Christopher Toe who was FORCED to resign amidst a row over funds for victims of crop-destroying caterpillars ?
How does Mr Morlu's credibility measures up to Gender and Development Minister Varbah K. Gayfor who was RECENTLY booked for theft, exploitation, and abuse of office by the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission,(LACC) ?
How does Mr Morlu's credibility measures up to former Minister of Internal Affairs, Mr. Ambulai Johnson, who as head of the Project Management Team, FAILED to follow the guidelines governing the management and implementation of the Social Development Fund ?
I believe Mr Morlu's quest for JUSTICE is a very worrisome development for some key functionaries within the Unity Party government who will stop at nothing to see him silenced.
Lastly, how does Mr Morlu's credibility measures up to our president, Madame Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf who publicly declared " level Monrovia and we will rebuild it" while horrified men, women and children were subjected to Taylor's vicious marauders in his quest to oust Samuel Doe?
This is NOT a question of credibility or the lack of but a knee-jerk reaction triggered by an overwhelming fear of their imminent loss of political power and a lack of ANY credible reaction to the “purported” press release.
In the cause of the Liberian people, the STRUGGLE continues !
